The new Benchmark, the S-Class is still the father of the excutive automotive
segment. This is a magnificent photo of the new S. Nice article btw

I think I'm starting to appreciate the design of the interior a little more, before I just hated it.

It looks better and better to me...

the pic on the road seems PSed a bit

 

[Merc1]

No that pic is real. What about it looks photoshop'd?

the car doesn't fit well with its surroundings, as if it was pasted onto the background

If he PSed it, he is pretty good. The shadows from the car on the pavement from the low sun on the left matches the shadows from the palm trees. I think it is a nice shot and what makes it stand out is the sharpness of the S and the softness of the background.

Me too! I remember first seeing this spy shot of the interior and I was very disappointed, but now I simply love it.

I love the lighting across the dash:

That is why I'm willing to give the CL a chance with real pics before deciding it won't look as good as the current CL. Because when I first saw that spy shot of the interior I thought it was terrible too.

Well I don't see that at all. The video shows they tested it in an area like that. Edmunds doesn't do photoshop pics for their roadtests, only spy photos.
